He drove a Queens couple some 2,500 miles to their new retirement home in Arizona last April. Now, Guldeniz is getting official recognition for what officials believe is the longest taxi ride in city history. He won the city Taxi and Limousine Commission’s Going the Extra Mile award.
He was among about 60 cabbies honored yesterday for doing good deeds, ranging from returning lost cell phones to stopping a rape suspect.

: Sorry I meant 11 points for suspension in New York State.
: Just one more. Do you know 6 points of DMV n TLC will suspend ur licence n 10 points revocation as cab driver when 11 points for regular driver? Isn't it also unconstitutional when rules r made without representation without notification to drivers before and after enacting?
: Triple next to double parked car is no no no but impossible not to pick up or drop off next to parked cars in Midtown. Then again that's why it's easy volume tickets? Try to guess what they are thinking. And the ticket for improper turn for cabdrivers
: I almost got a ticket at NE corner on 8th Avenue side. I had to drop them off next to a parked car cause they were going to Penn station in a hurry to catch a train. Cop said I was obstructing traffic n I should've dropped them in the middle of the block where there was a space. But I insisted with passenger story and he let me go luckily. Basically it's not right or wrong or logic or making sense. They are up to giving tickets n now I know naively. I will say drop off as far as from that corner or whatever ur trick. Being screamed at is lesser evil than getting a ticket.

What about insurance? Most of my cab work is outside of Maryland and my insurance guy has to go through tons of bravo sierra to write my policy. Then there are the cops who do the same drug search at the same hours of the night like they are going to find dope.
